Am I feeding her enough?
[IMG]file:///F:/DCIM/100NCD40/DSC_1001.JPG[/IMG] I don't know if the photo worked, if it isn't please tell me how to get it working. My corn is at least a year and a half years old to two years old. I feed her once a week two fuzzies, however I'm not sure if that is enough for her because after she's done she still looks for more. Can you please tell me what I should feed her if the fuzzies are too small?

Lets see if this photo works, and yes I have the right husbandry for her, I just took it out to get a good picture of her. Also, after looking at her water bowl I have thoroughly cleaned it out.

I have a cali king that does the same thing especially after spring and thru the summer, but once winter sets in he doesnt even think about eating even though his settings dont change. maybe try to feed it every 5 days and see if that changes anything. and if youre feeding 2 small fuzzies maybe raise the size up a bit but not too big...about the thickness of its thickest part of the body and you should be fine.

Indeed, try a little larger, maybe a hopper.

Okay, thanks for the advice. I'll go out and get some hoppers Sunday.

Honestly, my 1.5 year old corn eats an adult mouse once a week. He's big for his age, though. What's her length and current weight? If she's like my Lark (3' and ~200g), she could definitely take an adult mouse.

I don't know her weight (no gram scale yet), she is about as long as my 25 gallon tank, so about 2.5 to 3 feet.
P.S. I moved her to a new tank that is 25 gallons. And my garters are going into the 15 gallon one.

I know she'll be happy in her new tank! I love this chart http://www.themousefactory.com/rates/rates.html as far as general weights go and comparing one prey item to another. I'd say try a small adult mouse, if she's anywhere near 150 grams (guessing weight here) 25 grams of mouse would be fine. At 2 fuzzies she's probably getting 10-15 grams of mouse. Of course she's looking good on that, but an adult might fill her up a little more. I usually go with 15-20% of their body weight in food.

Okay, so I just got a gram scale and decided to weigh Kat, she is 170 on the dot. Does this mean I can/should feed her adult pups? Or should I wait a couple of weeks before I start to feed her adult pups and stick to fuzzies/hoppers?
